more items daily than the second plant.
The first plant produces _ more items daily than the second plant.
(Simplity your answer.)

Answer 1

The first plant produces 5x+14 items daily

The second plant produces 3x-7 items daily

Differences between number of items by the two plants daily

= (5x+14) - (3x-7)

= 5x+14 - 3x+7

=2x+21

Hence,

The first plant produces 2x+21 more items daily than the second plant.
